This set contains five VidaXL green U-channel fence posts made of steel, each 160 cm in height, intended as supports for a hexagonal green steel fence measuring 1.6 x 10 m. The U-channel profile is designed to receive and secure wire mesh or panel fencing, providing vertical support and a simple fastening surface. The posts are coated for outdoor use to resist weathering and are suitable for marking and protecting garden or boundary areas.
Advantages
The U-channel shape offers a straightforward and stable mounting solution for wire mesh or lightweight panels without the need for complex brackets. Steel construction ensures structural rigidity and the green finish blends with garden environments. Supplied as a set of five posts, the package supports a continuous run of hexagonal steel fence of the specified dimensions and simplifies installation by providing uniform-length supports.
Suitable for
- Supporting hexagonal steel wire mesh fence 1.6 x 10 m
- Securing perimeter or garden areas
- Mounting lightweight panel or wire fencing in outdoor areas
- Replacement or reinforcement of existing fence posts of similar profile
When it may not be suitable
These posts are intended for use with wire mesh or lightweight panels and are not designed to support heavy, solid panels or loads beyond typical garden fencing forces. They are supplied at a fixed height of 160 cm; if a taller or adjustable support is required for privacy screens or tall barriers, alternative posts should be considered.

How to use
Select appropriate mounting locations and ensure consistent spacing to match the fence panel or mesh length. Dig or prepare post holes or a trench to the recommended depth for stable anchoring, taking local ground conditions into account. Place each U-channel post upright and either concrete in place or secure with suitable ground anchors. Insert the wire mesh or panel into the U-channel and fasten using appropriate clips, ties, or bolts rated for outdoor use. Check alignment and tension along the fence run and make final adjustments before finishing connections.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the 160 cm post height suits your required fence profile and local regulations
- Verify compatibility of the U-channel profile with your chosen mesh or panel fastening method
- Assess soil type and anchoring method (concrete, ground anchors) for stable installation
- Consider additional posts or corner posts if your fence layout requires more supports
Usage recommendations
For durable results, use galvanised or stainless fasteners and apply correct anchoring depth based on local frost line and soil stability. Regularly inspect coatings and fixings and touch up any exposed steel to maintain corrosion resistance and prolong service life.
